Yup. Mumbai and Bombay are one and the same. Bombay was actually the Portuguese name for the city and means "good bay".
Mumbai store is on track for a pre-Diwali opening I'm told. Not sure when exactly Diwali is this year (normally late October/early Nov).

Hermes plans India-specific perfume

French fashion house Hermes, which operates in India in a joint venture with Khanna Retail promoted by Neelam Khanna, plans to roll out an India-centric fragrance by 2012.
"Keeping in mind Indian preferences, we are looking forward to launch a perfume specific to India by 2012," said Jean-Philippe Collin, regional director, Hermes perfume, India & Middle East. He, however, did not divulge details of the launch plan. This is not the first time that the French fashion house has chosen India as its theme. It had chosen 'Indian Fantasies' as it theme for its collections in 2008 when a team of experts visited India and came up with India-inspired products.
"What resulted was a host of India-inspired products, such as a new perfume 'Garden of the Monsoon' which was reminiscent of Keralas freshness after monsoon, and Hermes scarves with Indian patterns on them. Keeping in mind the excellent response we received from the luxury loyalists for the collection, we are motivated to introduce a new fragrance just for India," said Collin.
Hermes also plans to expand its retail presence with a boutique in Mumbai by next year. The brand opened its first boutique in New Delhi's Oberoi Hotel. Mumbai is the next destination and the boutique would be in a high street location. Hermes has been well accepted in India over the last two years," said Khanna. Collin added there has been 20 per cent increase in the perfume business so far. "India has huge potential for growth. Our target is to sell 3,000 bottles of perfumes by 2012."

The stock is better in Mumbai (Horniman Circle Garden). The store is also bigger in Mumbai. Just got back from there 
hope this helps..
hope this helps..
I'm curious to know this as well. Will be trekking in the Himalayas soon and might head south afterwards.
I went to Hermes Mumbai around last May, bought a picotin and sandals, also ordered a B. Got called around a month later. I got B30 in rose jaipur for 743500 rupees. It's much higher than europe of course, but you'll get your preferences much easier in India. Good luck!
